I’m running into a recurring and very frustrating issue with the 777-200ER in MSFS 2024.
On my latest flight into KMSP (about 3.5 hours long), I had to go around. While zoomed in on the FMC, I pressed a button and the entire simulator instantly froze. The screen locked solid — no movement or input possible — but audio kept playing in the background. The only option was to kill the sim, which after that much flying feels like a complete waste of time.
This isn’t the first time it has happened. Although the most recent case was at KMSP, I’ve had similar freezes on other flights too, usually during approach or other high workload moments when interacting with the FMC.
For reference, I’m running an Nvidia RTX 4080 with an AMD AM5 Ryzen 9 7900X3D, latest Windows and GPU drivers, MSFS up to date, and the aircraft fully patched via Ops Center. No third-party scenery at KMSP and otherwise smooth performance throughout. I was also running BeyondATC, GSX, SimToolKit, and linking to a Virtual Airline recorder via FSUIPC7 — all of which normally work fine for me without issues.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be tied to certain FMC inputs during approach/go-around? It’s incredibly frustrating and I’d really appreciate advice on whether this is a known bug or something I should log via a support ticket.
